Beach Day, "Beach Day"This blog has made me pay closer attention to the ways in which I discover music. I'm finding that it happens in some interesting ways.
After coming across Eternal Summers on Tumblr, I headed over to their label, Kanine Records, to buy some of their music. Turns out Kanine is home to some other excellent artists like Chairlift and Surfer Blood.
Kanine is also cool in that they stuff some little extras in with their shipments. The Dawn of Eternal Summers vinyl came with a 7" single called "Dreaming" by The Izzys and three, little buttons: one with the company logo, one for Eternal Summers, and another that said, simply, "Beach Day." I had to investigate.
Beach Day, it turns out, are a Hollywood, FL trio whose first, self-titled 7" came out on July 17th. "Beach Day," the song, is two-and-a-half minutes of old-school... well... beach music: drums, reverb, twangy guitars, and female vocal harmonies with just enough Dum Dum Girls-style darkness to keep things interesting. In other words, exactly my thing.
That little button, which CoolDaughter #1 has already claimed for her book bag this fall, now has me wondering when I'll get to hear some more from this Florida band.
